Ruff impressed by rookie Valeri Nichushkin

Dallas coach Lindy Ruff has been impressed by rookie forward Valeri Nichushkin.

"Val's play continues to grow. For me that's really important," said Ruff after Nichushkin tallied a goal and three assists in Saturday's win over Philadelphia. "He made a couple of really good plays on those goals, and physically, he's been dominating some battles." He has earned 13 points and a plus-12 rating in his past 15 games.

Corey Crawford's LBI may not be 'too serious'

Chicago bench boss Joel Quenneville doesn't think Corey Crawford's lower-body injury is serious.

"I don't think it's too serious. But when it's a goalie it's a little more serious than other players because of how important he is to our team," said Quenneville. "We'll have a better assessment (Monday) but I think we're along those lines." With Crawford potentially sidelined, the Blackhawks will be forced to turn rookie Antti Raanta and whoever comes up from the minors as their goaltenders. He suffered what appeared to be a groin injury in the first period of Sunday's win over Florida and had to leave the game.
